Type III Historic Resource Review hearing for a proposal to for a proposal to make exterior alterations to a non-contributing building in the South Portland Historic District. The existing building is located on a site at the intersection of SW 1st Ave and SW Porter St. The applicant, Ukandu, a non-profit serving families impacted by childhood and adolescent cancer, proposes to renovate an existing masonry building and build a two-story addition. The expanded building, to be named Ukandu Loft, will feature radically inclusive activity spaces for children, teens, and families; community spaces; therapy and counseling offices; outdoor community spaces; parking; and operational offices. The primary pedestrian entrance will be located on SW 1st Ave with garage and secondary access on SW Porter St.
The site is comprised of two adjacent properties. The project preserves the masonry building at the corner with a proposed addition to the west. The existing 9,000 SF building is located at 3015 SW 1st Ave on an L-shaped, 8,300 SF parcel. The site for the proposed renovation and expansion includes this L-shaped parcel as well as the adjacent 2.300 SF parcel at 118 SW Porter Street. Together the quarter block development is 10,600 SF with frontages to the north on SW Porter St and the east on SW 1st Ave. The site is immediately adjacent to the Cedarwood Waldorf School to the west and Gearhead Associates to the South. Both neighboring brick buildings are contributing historic resources in the South Portland Historic District.
